Sorry to go off topic here but that pizza looks stunning.
I currently have two Slot-loading iMac G3's, and two PowerMac G4's (one is a iTunes/XBMC server and the other a OS 9/OS X Retro Gaming System). I also want to acquire other PPC Macs such as the iBook G3, the iMac G4, the PowerBook G4, and a PowerMac G5, but they're hard to find these days at reasonable prices.

I have the world's best iBook G4 
! Even running Leopard, it's very fast... compared to my old iBook G3, with Tiger. My G4 opens every app way faster, and had a 60 GB HD. Here are my specs...
Apple iBook G4 14 inch (Mid 2005)
PowerPC G4 1.33 Ghz processor
784 MB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.5.8
60 GB HD
iLife 08/ Office 08
I also own a powerbook 1400 c, running OS 9. It was my first mac (I got it about 5 years ago from a friend). The power cord has, sadly, broken though.

The specs don't add up .....
-The 14" from 2005 has 1.42GHz (1.33 for the 12")
-The slightly older 14" (late 2004) has 1.33GHz
-This older model also has only 256MB soldered onto the mobo, while it's 512 for the 2005 model (now one might add a 256 DIMM to that in the single slot, but the other way round, 2004 model with 256 + 512MB DIMM sounds more likely).
Easiest way to check:
Go to system profiler.
PowerBook6,7 + 1.42GHz -> top 14"
PowerBook6,5 + 1.33GHz -> one revision older 14"
PowerBook6,7 + 1.33GHz -> top 12"
Other differences:
PowerBook6,7 features a Radeon9550 and the multitouch-USB-trackpad (as found in the last PowerBooks), while 6,5 (an older) has a Radeon9200 and the simple ADB-trackpad.
Actually, even though it was released in late 2004, they made that same model until mid 2005, when mine was made.
haha
there is indonesian cuisine clamshell (iBook G3) with pizza
hehe
thank's all
Sorry off topic
----------
cool stuff
may i ask
it is leopard, right?
how about perform bro if comparable with os tiger?
thank's
Yup it is leopard, it performs fine,but I find tiger to be snappier.I have both, and on Leopard I have a "backup" of my iphoto library (tiger doesn't run iphoto 09 :/) ,sync with google contacts,google calendar and etc
My "Beige" Power Macintosh G3, running Leopard (10.5.8, with additional kexts and some other work to run on this machine) with the following specs:
-- Sonnet Encore G4 1 GHz
-- 768 MB memory
-- 128 GB hard drive
-- Radeon 9200 128 MB
(Leopard desktop screenshot below)
And a Power Macintosh 6100/60, one of the first-generation PowerPCs from '94, this one has a 60 MHz processor (yep I know the case says 66 but I seem to have a case/CPU mismatch) and 40 MB memory
Haven't got this installed on it right now, but this was fun when it wasn't crashing (top is build D11E4 which runs on the 6100, below is D7E1 which I couldn't get to boot up fully)
Love PowerPCs!

Here's mine- eBay's a great site to find these!
The RAM is upgraded from 256 MB to 784 MB, and this model was one of the last released before the 1.42 Ghz iBooks.
PS- Sorry about the resolution- it was taken on my iPod

The Green iMac G3 (Turned sideways In pic) i found along the road the Plastic inside that holds the CRT is broken and the Hard Drive is messed up but it still powers up when i tryed it last in October. Almost all the iMac G3's in the pic have new Flyback Transformer's. The only 2 that do not is the indigo and the green one i found. But the indigo works just fine it looks like it had a easy life

That looks nice and clean, almost minty. So many of the ones I see on eBay look like they were dragged behind a mule train.

Haha
it is actually in mint condition, looks like it just came out the factory yesterday! All the original documentation and adapters and software coupons are all still in the box too. Chuffed with it for 50 quid! 
In my collection at the current moment.... The first three listed here all still see daily use.
• "Pismo" PowerBook 500MHz G3
• iMac G5, 17" (no iSight)
• iMac G4 17" 1GHz
• MacClassic - yes, it runs great!
Over the years, I've had plenty more, including G4 Towers, some iMac G3s, and PowerBook G4s.
